You might want to review the recent changes to cancellation in musl
and my related bug report for glibc:
http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=12683

I'm not 100% sure the glibc/NPTL cancellation idiom violates the
standard, but it definitely has undesirable properties that make it
virtually impossible to utilize cancellation in a robust program.

It would be nice if uclibc is interested in adopting a more robust
approach to cancellation.
